When cops "clean up encampments," the result is that a nonzero number of unhoused people will die from that violence enacted on them; what do you THINK happens to people already barely clinging to existence when you do that to them?

We should be honest abut how "we should just kill them, can we not please just KILL them" lurks barely under the surface of so much respectable discourse on the homeless.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened
The flags were lowered last night around the base by order of President Trump after the killing of Charlie Kirk and will stay at half-staff on this U.S. outpost in southeast Cuba until sunset on Sunday.

I think the fact that none of these people are willing to engage in a platform where their thoughts aren’t treated as Socrates descending to speak with the common people reveals as much about them as the platform.
Bluesky needs more ideological diversity, a thread:
1/8: I think the question of why commentators like Matt Yglesias, Lakshya Jain, Noah Smith, Nate Silver and Richard Hanania don’t post more, or at all on Bluesky is important.
This would be a better platform if they did.

I like posting on BlueSky because I think I’m the most right-wing person who uses this service.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...
But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

1. Major news in transgender care.
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.
They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.
Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

if you are a democrat who is retreating on and abandoning trans people, you are evil and throwing all trans people under the bus won’t stop them for coming after you next

Zelensky is watching his neighbors get blown to smithereens by Russian bombs. He is watching his countrymen die in muddy trenches to hold an invading dictator at bay. He himself could die, alongside his family. The expectation that he flatter Trump’s delusions, like our elites all do, is obscene.

It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."
My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.
